  • Abstract
    A previous method of synthesis for transconductor and multiplier-functions using Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) MESFETs modelled by a square-law drain current versus gate-source voltage-(Vgs) characteristic is extended to the case of a general power law device characteristic and applied to the multiplier case. Compensation for the effect of device output conductance, modelled as a Vds-to-V gs electrostatic feedback effect, is considered and results are shown by simulation examples
